[snip] > Comments? Wow! This is really awesome work you've done, perhaps you can put the patch up on a URL someplace? If not mail it to me in private and I can put it up for people to see. One thing though, I think that this behaviour should be toggled via a sysctl, but I think I can manage doing that for you.

I've always wanted the ability to turn off overcommit for exactly the same reasons you do. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
